Shane Mahoney | Founder & CEO, Lugos Travel | Author of The 18\/40 Rule<\/b><\/p>\r\n
Shane Mahoney is a visionary entrepreneur, author, and the founder of Lugos Travel, a luxury tour operator redefining how busy professionals experience the world. After more than a decade in real estate and finance, Shane launched Lugos Travel in 2011 to solve a personal frustration: the exhausting time and guesswork required to plan a meaningful vacation.<\/p>\r\n
What began as a mission to simplify travel has since evolved into a tech-enabled boutique brand delivering fully personalized, private tours to over 20 countries\u2014with proposals generated in minutes, not days. Under Shane\u2019s leadership, Lugos Travel has grown into a trusted concierge-level service, offering everything from private chefs and behind-the-scenes cultural experiences to \"First-Class Essentials\" welcome boxes and a client app with real-time itinerary support.<\/p>\r\n
In 2025, Shane published The 18\/40 Rule\u2014a book that blends carpe diem philosophy with non-attachment principles to explore how we can live fully, love deeply, and make time for what truly matters. Inspired in part by a personal Parkinson\u2019s diagnosis, the book is both a call to presence and a roadmap for finding meaning through disruption.<\/p>\r\n
A global traveler who\u2019s lived across Europe, Asia, and Australia, Shane brings firsthand insight into what makes a journey unforgettable. He\u2019s developed proprietary systems that eliminate common travel pain points and forged partnerships that ensure VIP access, seamless logistics, and deeply personalized service.<\/p>\r\n
Whether he\u2019s speaking at entrepreneur events, mentoring others through life\u2019s unexpected turns, or designing Lugos\u2019 upcoming affiliate and white-label travel programs, Shane remains focused on one thing: helping others reclaim their time, reconnect with their loved ones, and experience the world with ease and meaning.<\/p>","link":"https:\/\/www.universal-traveller.com\/de\/profile\/shanemahoney\/","slug":"shanemahoney","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/fbc1d0d16c59f1ea262c04f79763e37a5f89b30e8a48392f6e6c8337270f49e9?s=24&r=g","48":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/fbc1d0d16c59f1ea262c04f79763e37a5f89b30e8a48392f6e6c8337270f49e9?s=48&r=g","96":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/fbc1d0d16c59f1ea262c04f79763e37a5f89b30e8a48392f6e6c8337270f49e9?s=96&r=g"},"meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.universal-traveller.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/427","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.universal-traveller.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
